    Canada should make an announcement that they are building the biggest and most beautiful plane for Newsom, far better than Air Force one and probably the best plane ever. Also, Trump is not allowed on it ever.

    Someone should use AI to churn out volumes of Trump-style psycho tweets, post it everywhere. Make it obvious how stupid it is. FOX and Newsmax don’t expose the more insane of Trump’s social media excretions.

      You should just publish a big beautiful book of all his tweets. It is all public record so it would be legal and probably a real page turner.

      Big tech is racing to implement the surveillance state because they know how much power it gives the people. The anti-AI movement on the left is a technocrat dream (or psyop).

      I know he’s not going to because he’s actually playing this like an adult, but damn I wish our federal government would troll 'em just a little in the style of the Fords.

      fuck it, I’d be fine with Dougie doing it. he’s not federal, so Trump can’t claim it was Canada doing it, and he’s got the aura for it already. c’mon Dougie, play your part for us before you go back to destroying the environment, giving handouts to your corporate buddies, and trying to waste taxpayer money on terrible traffic solutions

      It is so immemsely stupid that this is an effective strategy for both making non Trumpers giggle, and also just troll the fuck out of …seemingly non sentient Trump supporters…

      But then again, mockery has always been at least fairly effective against fascists, at least as a form.of rhetoric… hopefully this can at least buoy some morale to be able to translate into meaningful action.

      I just find it incredibly depressing that this shit is what gets people interested in politics. It’s no wonder our country is circling the drain.

      Seems like he’s the only governor that read the part about defeating fascists through humiliation. I am not a big fan of his previous policies, but he is the only person that’s even slightly left of center presenting any fortitude right now.

        Left of center with regards to AMERICAN politics but very much center right by any other metric.

        Still enjoying what he’s doing though.

          Newsome is firmly on the right, he doesn’t touch center. Bernie and AOC are centrists. The only person even remotely on the left that has a national presence is Zohran.

      I love the purpose that he’s serving right now, but when the 2028 presidential primaries roll around I hope he gets completely creamed and then goes away forever.

          The impression I get from listening to him talk is that he is preparing to be president before 2028, just of a new nation.

          Like you said he doesn’t seem to think there will be an election ( I agree) so he is positioning himself to take California and some others and go.

          The real question is whether the mid terms next fall will happen. They can be avoided by a declaration of war.

        What’s the purpose? Like, in a positive sense. I just see this as more liberal distraction from actual material change. Making people feel like there is a means of resistance within the current system that has become overcome by fascist.

        It gives people the false sense of “something being done”. When it gives us no more progress than a new episode of South Park.

          So sad that you’re downvoted for being correct. People would rather feel good tripe that strokes their egos than actual political progress.

          The people of the US are sheep.

          The purpose is humiliation. That’s it, really. Fascists NEED you to respect them. If not their governing, then you must respect their power and violence and stay in line. If you do not respect them, and laugh at them. They crumble.

          Bats and guns help with the crumbling. But laughing is great too.
